Due to a crap-tastic chapter 5, I was not sure if I even wanted to continue this. Fortunately, a boring Math class saved this from th Pit of Unfinished Stories and now we have a chapter six.

"You walked in to the party like you were walking onto a yacht/ Your hat strategically dipped below one eye; your scarf, it was apricot/ You had one eye in the mirror as you watched yourself gavotte/ And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner..."

Sango looked up at Miroku. "Where did you get that scarf? I've never seen it before."

He shrugged. "A lady gave it to me for some reason. Now, where were we?"

InuYasha thought for a while. "Um... I think we were going to save Kagome from Koga."

"Oh, yeah, that's right."

InuYasha flopped against the wall of the samll house they'd borrowed for the night. The plan was to get an early start tomorrow morning and find Koga's mountain hideout as quickly as they could. It wasn't as though Kagome couldn't survive by herself for as long as necessary, but they really had no idea what might be done to her during the time she was with the wolf-demon. Anything- yes, even that, could happen.

Naraku stole away to the treehouse of the shadowy figure he was to report to.

"It all seems to be working well, my lady."

White teeth flashed in the darkness, hopefully a smile. "Good. Now, I want you to delay these four somehow... I think perhaps I shall send one of my associates to help you, because although you ARE hot, I do not believe that you will be able to accomplish what I wish you to. You and your lackeys have proved yourself ridiculously incompetent on several occasions before and I will not trust you to do this job for me alone. Understood?"

The demon lord nodded. "Of course, my lady. Tell me what you require of me, and it will be done."

She appeared to smile again. "Lean in a bit closer, and I shall."

Birds were happily twittering in the now-blooming cherry trees, and the spring air was warm on Miroku's face as he walked beside the others the next day. Saving Kagome would be a piece of cake. They would just do as they always did- run in, kick ass, save Kagome's, and then complain about it afterwards.

This all changed when the fuzzy white baboon skin reared up in front of them.

InuYasha jumped. "It's NARAKU!" he yelled.

Well, obviously.

"I'll KILL YOU for what you did to Kikyo!"

Probably not.

The baboon-skin-clad figure ripped the fur off. It was not, in fact, Naraku as they'd suspected. It was a ridiculously tall teenager in the stereotypical ninja garb. She smiled, then threw a bunch of shuriken at them. Nobody except Sango were quick enough to escape the throwing stars of DOOM, and as she rolled off into the bushes, Mothra swooped down and ate her.

Because nobody likes her anyway.

The SUPER-NINJA bounded off, and InuYasha, Miroku, Shippo, and Mothra were left bleeding on the ground.
